Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 e 4MATIC Coupe (2022) is rated by experts as a PHEV SUV that excels in the high electric range (99 km WLTP) and massive torque (700 Nm) of the gasoline hybrid system. This model offers dynamic driving and sporty feel due to the C167 Coupe chassis. The main disadvantages are the very large weight (2550 kg) due to the hybrid system, which compromises the feeling of sporty driving and reduces passenger/luggage space. Common criticisms of the C167 models include very high hybrid system maintenance costs, problems with MBUX system software, AIRMATIC system defects (if optional), and various electrical/sensor problems (such as problems with parking or distronic sensors).
